CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Dave Baltmanis is an attorney from Chicago, and this is not Dave's first competition. You won a trophy when you were just 3 years old, I believe.
Dave: That's right. I was in a big ice fishing competition. My family's Latvian. There are a lot of Latvians in southwest Michigan, where I'm from. And I went there with my father and my uncle John, and I did bait the hook myself, and the thing that came out was the biggest fish. I got the trophy. It's in Latvian. I'm very proud of it. It's one I held on to.
Alex: All right, good for you.
Alex: Jim McGinnis, Beaver, Pennsylvania. How does one drive the wrong way on a turnpike?
Jim: Well, it was black ice. My wife and I were driving all the way cross-country from Colorado home to Ohio at that time. And it was a beautiful drive, all the way until the edge of Ohio. We hit the snow and the ice. The van went sideways across about 100 yards of median, up onto the wrong side. Cars coming right toward me. I said, "We don't belong here," and I just took it right back across.
Alex: Good for you. All right.
Alex: Suzanne Koppelman is our champion. On yesterday's program, you smiled after giving a correct response. The correct response was Pablo Picasso.
Suzanne: Yes, it was.
Alex: Now, you traveled through Europe with sketches done by Picasso?
Suzanne: It was mostly in the United States. It was an exhibition of sketchbooks of Picasso.
Alex: Ah.
Suzanne: And I was actually one of the people who installed the exhibition. I actually--I got to choose which page of the sketchbook was shown at each venue.
Alex: Power. You have power.
Suzanne: Yep.
Alex: All right.
Suzanne: I did.
TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
NOBEL PRIZE KNOWLEDGE $1000: John Bardeen was the 1st individual to win a 2nd Nobel in one category, for work on this absence of electric resistance
NOBEL PRIZE KNOWLEDGE $800: The youngest winner ever in this youngest Nobel category was 51-year-old Kenneth Arrow
(Dave: What is Literature?)
"F" STOP $400: If you're haughty & standoffish, you're this 5-letter synonym
"F" STOP $600: It's the rhyming brand name of the Christmas helper seen here
(Dave: What is The Elf on a Shelf?)
[Originally ruled correct; ruled incorrect before Double Jeopardy!]
SCORES AT THE END OF THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
Dave: $3,400
Suzanne: $3,400
Jim: $3,000

Re: Tuesday, July 3, 2018 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
The clues with scoring changes:
The funny clue was the one in CONFUSING AUTHORS with Arthur & Henry Miller since that came up recently on the board in relation to Alex asking BMS or not.
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING $200: Suggested benefits of a cold one include improving your circulation & that nothing worse can happen the rest of the day
Dave got negged with beer although he got a laugh. Jim got the rebound with the expected shower. I went a different way and said swim. Judges?
The players had clue selection all over the place, so this game is a nightmare for those who like the orderly approach. They mostly handled it well as the 44,400 combined Coryat shows.
So what happens in that case? An 0/3 on the FJ! clue. I’ll make it an 0/4 as I matched Jim’s cross-out over going with Dave’s response in a 50:50 I had with little confidence. The correct response was not on my radar as a UNESCO/EU/WWII trifecta does not favor me.
After the corrected scores Suzanne ended up with wider advantage over Dave. Before that it looked like the last clue selection could be a point to revisit as Dave led Suzanne 10200 to 10000 with control of the board in Opera with $400, $1600 and $2000 remaining. Dave went to $400 which Suzanne got to gain second place behind Jim. Naturally the round then ended with the 2 biggies remaining hidden.
Commercial here instead of Reretaken Down: Check out the Google Doodle as it should be mandatory for Hammer with the “hoity-toity” foods and the rest of us can learn something as well.
Spoiler
“F” STOP $600: It’s the rhyming brand name of the Christmas helper seen here
Dave: What is the Elf on a Shelf?
His +600 became a -600 resulting in his J! round score going from 4600 down to 3400 as the brand name is Elf on the Shelf.
COASTAL TERMINOLOGY $2000: A tombolo is one of these that connects an island to the mainland or 2 islands together
Suzanne was negged for isthmus when Alex wanted sandbar. The decision was reversed so Suzanne went from 10400 up to 14400 for the FJ! round.
OPERA $800: 13th century Switzerland: This opera, Rossini’s last
Jim got a yes then a no for Wilhelm Tell as Dave rebounded William Tell.
Jim’s neg was reversed taking his score for the FJ! round from 16800 up to 18400.
Dave: What is the Elf on a Shelf?

Re: Tuesday, July 3, 2018 Game Recap and Discussion [SPOILERS]
The $200 clue seemed like the hardest one in the Coffee category.
I said Poland on FJ. It seemed too obvious but I had no other guesses.

Having had some rotten games lately, I was quite pleased with myself for getting this FJ. I wrote down several different answers and crossed them out in succession (Czech Republic, Poland, Austria) finally hitting on the Netherlands and scribbling it in in the final seconds of think time.
Also, it was nice for my Coryat that "isthmus" got a reversal.

ran Robber Barons and Missing Links categories. Trash pickup: superconductivity, economics, Atlanta DD, aloof.
Also guessed Poland for FJ. My second guess would've been Czechoslovakia. No way I would've guessed Netherlands.
Am I the only one who upon seeing the tide pools clue immediately thought of Rush's Natural Science ?

Got FJ by latching onto The Hague as a site for peace talks - I had no idea about detention camps. I dismissed Eastern European countries by mistakenly thinking the heritage site concept probably went back before those countries joined the EU.

I had Poland. I switched to Netherlands too late to be able to write it down.

Started with Austria, but didn't like the Peace Palace part there. The Netherlands fit that part, so I just assumed that it was right and I just wasn't sure where the camp was.

So 'TV actress Cox' doesn't warrant a BMS...in a category with two of them as answers. OK then judges.
Who was it that said that BMS requests should be met with a response of 'no, give me my money'?

There was very clearly a cutaway to a judge's conference for the Laverne Cox clue.
Not many people can say they've lost four times on Jeopardy!.

47 R
DD: 3/3
FJ:
LT: Superconductivity, Economics, (Atlanta), Aloof, Jetty
Knew that the Peace Palace was the home of the International Court of Justice. Another difficult Final Jeopardy! correct for me.
